The Kansas Silent Film Festival is by no means a quiet affair. This yearly event celebrates the art and history of silent films from all over the world. Movie makers convene here to not only offer screenings of their latest works but to also participate in panel discussions about the technical and creative aspects of movie making. This free event is held every February.

The art of dance is both preserved and passed down thanks to the tireless efforts of the people both onstage and behind the scenes at the Kansas Ballet. Aside from staging several entertainment events throughout the year, not the least of which is the Christmas classic The Nutcracker, the Kansas Ballet also works to foster the talents of young performers with a steady offering of dance instruction and various other art programs that enhance both the skill and spirit of aspiring performers.

Dig into the state's past in a truly memorable way when you visit the Kansas History Center. Perhaps the most compelling attribute of this impressive venue is that it encapsulates the widest scope of history as it begins in the prehistoric period and presents the most noteworthy events through time all the way up to the recent past. Various multimedia exhibits and attractions, artifacts, photographs and interactive presentations are used to illustrate the importance of the people and the events that have all been a part of the state's uncompromising history.
